What are the hazards of inhalation of graphite dust?
The main pathological change was two lung was black, the whole lung has isolated or clusters of small black nodules around the bronchioles and small blood vessels, irregular nodules; around focal emphysema, pleural thickening and adhesion. X - ray was mainly manifested in increased lung markings, with fine mesh fabric and fine nodular shadows, coarse mesh progression increased, often associated with emphysema, China has listed as the occupation scope of carbon black pneumoconiosis disease.
It must be harmful to human beings! Look at the dictionary of carbon black dust lung disease Description: black carbon pneumoconiosis: long-term inhalation of carbon black dust caused by pneumoconiosis. Carbon black is mainly the quality of easy flying carbon. Although the production has been closed and automated, the phenomenon of dust flying still exists. Therefore, workers who produce and use carbon black may have black carbon pneumoconiosis, the shortest length of onset is 15 years, the longest can be more than 25 years, the clinical symptoms are mild, and the progress is slow, and generally does not affect the ability to work.
Personally think: black carbon on the human body, and the extent of the time has a lot to do with. On the human body caused by short-term damage is limited to a certain extent, can be restored (but the inhaled particles are difficult to be excreted); over the long term, great harm to the human body, but also can not be restored. Heavy inhalation of carbon black dust can at least cause carbon black, dust, and lung disease (occupational disease, pneumoconiosis). Included in the pneumoconiosis in China: silicosis, coal worker's pneumoconiosis pneumoconiosis, graphite, carbon black pneumoconiosis, asbestosis, talc, mica, cement pneumoconiosis pneumoconiosis pneumoconiosis, Potter's pneumoconiosis, aluminum pneumoconiosis, welders' pneumoconiosis, graphite pneumoconiosis etc.)! At present, the world's lack of treatment for pneumoconiosis, suffering from pneumoconiosis equivalent to sentenced to death. The number of pneumoconiosis patients in our country is equal to that of pneumoconiosis patients in other parts of the world. Please pay more attention to it and don't inhale any more
